They spent quite a lot of time in that room after the Omega came to clean it up for their usage. By the time she was done, the stifling air was replaced with a refreshed one and enough ventilation was welcomed back to the room."I think I had the best levity of my life today with you, Ms," Emma quipped as they neared the foot of that step that would lead to their different chambers.Emilia agreed with her. She did too. In fact, apart from the days she snuck off to the lake with Betty, today's level of enjoyment was beyond what she imagined and now as they reached the foot of the stairs, she knew she was going to miss the little hellion."Perchance, we should do this more often, what do you think?" the girl whipped around with hope in her eyes."Well, as far as we get to wreak havoc in the castle, then I am in!" Emilia concurred, bouncing her flamy tendrils side by side. "But on one condition..."The girl's tentacles stood. "What?""That you stop calling me Ms, and call me by my name."
"Uh...Betty?" Emilia called coming out from the washroom with the white towel wrapped around her form, using a part of it to clean beneath her ears."Yes, Ms," Betty replied, eyeing her, from arranging the new lotions and ointment the chief Omega produced from the garden floras specifically for her mistress. She handed one of the containers to Emilia who took it and started massaging through her skin as she flicked her eyes to Betty expectantly."I have been meaning to ask, where is the dungeon located?""Ms, pardon me for asking but why would such matters trouble you?"Emilia's eyes lifted in contemplation hence she shrugged casually, "If I am going to be living here for such a time as I might not know, don't you think I should know every hair and breath of this castle?"The maid seemed to be swayed and nodded quickly in comprehension, taking a napkin to wipe her hands. "It's on the Northern part of the palatial grounds. Strictly out of bounds to anyone but the King, his Beta and his
The rosebush was more like a sacred part of the palace that was rarely used by anyone in the palace except the royal family and even now while they meandered into it, Betty was more or less looking like a lost ghost. She couldn't seem to lace her hand on the sin she committed to land her with someone as audacious and brash as her mistress."Ms, it isn't too late to change our mind. The King would not be receptive to this idea at all..." She tried again.Emilia snorted nonchalantly. "Hold this!" She stashed her shawl and bonnet on the girl's arm and looked around. "Look around to make sure we are the only ones here and trust me Betty I will never hurt you, so when I transform do not be frightened by what you see, okay?""Why should I be? I am also a werewolf even if I am an omega and my wolf makes me ashamed at times.""Just don't panic, Betty." Emilia huffed and started taking off her dress, somewhat delighted that unlike every other part of the castle, the guards were exempted from p
The moment Milan said her name, Emilia's wolf went still, though still baring her fangs in fury, but her body became stiff. He knew she was the one. How? Perhaps because he read through her defense of him?So many thoughts whirled in her head as they stared at each, man to wolf. And by now, his eye color was starting to go back to normal and her body was beginning to relax. Then she stuck out her tongue and licked his face once. She didn't even know why she did that.He patted her by her side and then his eyes went behind. Only then did she start coming back to her senses. She slowly pushed away from him and turned about and to her chagrin, the lady from before was sprawled on the ground in a faint.Her ears perked in agitation. Could it be that she has killed another?"Camila?" Milan rushed to the girl and as a matter of fact, it irked Emilia seeing him so disturbed about another woman like that despite knowing that the said woman might more or less be dead by now because of her. And
That night, ten years ago, when Emilia left her father's mansion, it rained heavily. It was under that rain, she ran, crying, shaking with nowhere in mind as she ran deep into the forest. The only thing her young mind was thinking at that moment was of her mother. The woman was crying as she ordered her to run to safety. And even after three days without food or water, only sleeping under the shed of a giant tree back then, Emilia didn't think of anything else, not even sustenance. Her father's face, her mother's smiles, it was like a torment that crushed her heart and like life was heckling her, it made her sleepless. This night as night fell and the night halls fell silent, she looked through her window at the dark clouds, counting the moment when she would make her exit. and just like that night, it happened at once, a mighty thunder shattered the quiet of the night and at its wake, the heavens opened and rain came down. She wasn't expecting it. There was no sign of it. Yet, Emi
29"Make sure she doesn't get past these doors if you care for your life, pending the time I decide what I am going to do with her," Came the robust voice of Milan as he left the room after making sure Emilia was locked inside."Argh!" She screamed within and slammed her leg repeatedly on the door if only it would destroy the barrier and set her free.Following his threat to lock her in, Milan had dragged her back from the forest through the wet night and tossed her back into her room, stayed with her in eerie silence, anger still oozing from him, until these men whom he possibly might have linked to come to her room, had arrived.Now, he was leaving her here. With the realization of the doomed fate that awaited her, Emilia resumed pacing the room earnestly, her hands fondling each other with her head besieged with numerous reflections.What has she been thinking to sleep last night? She should have pushed on. She used to live in the forest and so many times, she encountered storms bu
"The guardians spotted another group of hunters across the borders three days ago. I think we should strengthen our protection," Zane addressed Milan, standing close to the door with his hands behind his back in thought.Seated across the room close to the window with his usual glass of Whiskey swirling in his hand was Milan. He had so much going on in his head. As a matter of fact if he should narrow it down, he had a problem with a certain miss going on in his head and the least thing he wants to listen to is his Beta talk to him about humans. "Perchance, we should capture some of them and throw them in the dungeon. Or, kill them to use as a form of warning to the rest.""I don't think that is a good idea, Milan."“Then, my friend, I will be glad if you will oblige me with some reasoning on how to handle this problem because to be honest, there will be more confrontation from those creatures and I swear by the goddess I will not waste my time to obliterate them," He hissed in the mo
"Damn him, stupid son of the devil!" Emilia cussed, still pacing the length of the room with her fist bunched by her side. She stopped and touched her stomach tentatively as pain from hunger sizzled through her body once more.It has been thirty minutes already since the girl told her she was going to do something to help her. Where in goddess sake is she? Emilia stepped back until her back touched the wall, raising her head back to withhold herself from doing something drastic if more time passed and there was no sight of good news.Her thought was interrupted when the door handle shuddered. At once her sharp orbs flew in the direction of the door, lifting from the wall, half expecting the doe-eyed girl to step through the door but instead, Milan walked through.Her lips pursed dangerously, the anger roaring through her surpassing her common judgment. Even her hunger. She quickly looked down at the floor and closed her eyes. She never feels angry. She isn't supposed to feel angry bec
